The body 8 of the cap 2 has an upsta-nding Wrench lug,` 6. In the lug` 6 is embedded a head 7 of an anchoring device or screw 8 which extends downwardly below the body 3.

In practicalpperation, a quantity of asphalt or other sealing material, is placed in the cap 2, or smeared liberally over. the upper end of the post 1. The cap 2 then is mountedY on the post l, as shown in F igure 1,the screw 8 being` threaded downV into the post l,to hold the cap 2 in place, the necessaryl rotationfof the cap 2 is brought about by a tool, applied to' the polygonal Wrench lug 6. The part G, therefore, affords a means `whereby rotation may be imparted tothe capv 2, and

y also affords a place wherein the headof the screw 8 may be embedded and anchored.

The spacing` rib 5 prevents the sealing medi'- um 9 from being squee/Led out too thin between the cap and the post, there beinga substantial layer of sealingmater-ial left, When' Vthe cap 2 is seated. l
